Paz is a Birth and Postpartum Doula supporting New York City families since 2007. Paz is a DONA trained Doula and Certified Advanced Holistic Doula by The Matrona. Paz is a mother of three and her own experience navigating the New York City labor and delivery system inspired her to become a Doula.

Paz has a deep understanding of the challenges and joys of the birthing experience, and she uses her expertise and compassionate nature to help women feel empowered and confident throughout the process. Paz approaches birth from a whole-person holistic perspective, considering the physical and emotional aspects of it. She believes that birth is an experience that is profound, intense, and transformative and that all women intuitively know how to labor and give birth under the right conditions. She is passionate about helping the birthing person to connect to that intuition, and help create the space to achieve a calm and nurturing environment for a positive birth experience with respect, support, and without judgment. Paz incorporates a variety of comfort measures such as massage, aromatherapy, acupressure, breath work, movement, and other techniques to help with discomfort during labor.

Paz is also a Certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, and Certified Health and Wellness Coach by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition of NY. Paz is also an herbalist apprentice currently studying Herbal Medicine for Women.

When not supporting births you can find Paz walking the hidden paths of Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

  • "Paz embodies a rare combination of empathy, patience, and strength. Her exceptional ability to create a positive, empowering birth experience, enhanced by her bilingual skills and cultural competency, is a testament to her dedication and skill as a doula. She approaches her work with a profound sense of responsibility, integrity, and love. Her impact on our family will be cherished forever, and I firmly believe that Paz’s talents and dedication make her an invaluable asset to any family seeking support through the journey of childbirth."

  • "Paz was there for us from beginning to end, followed up with the nurses to make my experience run smoothly, and offered such helpful tips throughout my delivery. During push time, she was both soothing and motivational at the same time, which is the perfect combination that I needed. My husband and I were so grateful to have her by our side."

  • "During labor and delivery, Paz’s proficiency in navigating the hospital environment, coupled with her ability to manage interactions with medical staff, was remarkable. Her cultural sensitivity and advocacy were crucial in ensuring that the hospital’s procedures complemented, rather than overshadowed, our personal and cultural preferences for the birth, striking a harmonious balance between medical necessity and our wishes."
